GERMAN OFFICERS.

The Social Privileges Enjoyed by the Com
 Inissioned Portion of the Army.
 An American who has just come back from Germany treated several of us the other evening to very interesting monologue on the German army in German society. When, late in the sixteenth century, Europe began to awake from feudalism, she did so very slowly, and almost respectfully. Some of the worst features of the feudal regime remained. and remain even to this day. They may present them selves under a new aspect, assume a guise less shocking to the modern eye, but they are essentially the same as they were four or five hundred years ago. In Prussia the common soldier gets for three years service his board, which is, to express it mildly, very plain and frugal. Besides, he gets a remuneration of 20 pfennig-5 cents per day. A young Lieutenant, after graduating at five or six classic, poly technic and military schools, is enti- tied to salary of 150 marks, or S37, a month. He is expected to provide for his uniform, and. if he is a cavalry officer, for his horse and servant. He has little expense in procuring a servant, for any common servant thinks himself happy to get a position as an officers servant, with 8 or S4 a month. A Lieutenant from about 25 to 29 years old can not expect to be raised to the next highest rank, which is that of Captain, before attaining at least his thirty-sixth year. Besides, it is always morally certain that every young officer has to spend four or five years in an out-of-the way garrison in some provincial town. Nevertheless, it is fact proved by statistics (the favorite science of Bismarck), that the number of young men desirous to be- come officers in the army increases steadily year after year.
 Now, how is this to be accounted for? Only one reason can be given for it, but that is ample. Every young man who enters the army as candidate for the officership, in so doing joins himself to the aristocracy of the land. His uniform opens to him the way to the highest circles of society. At all court circles he is introduced into the presence of the King or Kaiser, as the case may be. He is invited to all the great annual banquets, for which, however, he is obliged to pay his share. Thus it often happens that our Lieu tenant dimes on several courses of airy, but very expensive dishes, and after feasting on truffles and champagne, goes to cheap restaurant to quiet the cravings of his stomach with leber- wursi ROd saurkraut every German

officer, from the beardless LieutenanJ still in the habit of chewing candy to the gruff-voiced Major. hopes to make his fortune by marrying the daughter of rich parvenu. And it is fact that nine out of every ten do succeed. There is no shorter, surer, and, as far as the young marriageable maiden is concerned, no more agreeable way of becoming part of the elite than the marriage with an officer, young one, if possible, but even an old one, rather than none at at all. The art of flirta- ton is an accomplishment deemed ab- solutely indispensable in every off cer. Flirting is the young Lieutenant's second nature. He flirts in the salon, in the theater, on the promenade. Only dueling is his greater passion. By the rules of the corps he is obliged to accept any challenge coming from a person not below him in social standing. The favorite duel of officers is the combat of swords. so called after the long and broad swords used. In this duel the fighting parties are half naked-i. c., the upper half of their bodies is exposed. If an officer is caught dueling he is arrested and nominally sentenced. But he never thinks of taking this seriously. If he refuses to accept a challenge his fellow officers compel him to leave the army,
 It is a treat to watch young Lieu tenant while he is drilling his men. He has four or five corporals to as- sist him. His chief occupation is to stand motionless, but in threatening attitudes in the midst of the new soldiers. He very seldom says any thing that would be directly sacrifice ing his dignity. Whenever some un- lucky recruit or other tries in vain to rouse himself to due appreciation of the glories of the soldiers life, and the corporal uses livelIer language than usual, our lieutenant frowns. It is seldom, very seldom, that more is needed to set all things right in second. But even if after the frown the refractory soldier con- tinues 'thick-beaded, the Lieutenant takes step toward him. That is enough. Thus far no case is known where this extreme measure of dis cipline had not an immediate effect. The recruits are for the most part country people, good and honest but stupid. They look upon the officers as superior being. It never comes to their minds that he is made of the same clay as they themselves. The laws against insubordination are truly Draconian. The other day young, intelligent man was sentenced to three years imprisonment because he had struck low-minded corporal who had done his best to gall and insult the young man in every way he could.- M r.

COVERING HAY STACKS.
How Hay In Kicks Can Be Protected With
 Boards at Small Cost.

How Hay In Kicks Can Be Protected With Boards at Small Cost.
 In ricks ten feet wide and twelve feet high, between three and four tons of hay will be contained in each rod of length. On an average, between one fourth and one-half a ton of this will waste where the hay is mixed meadow hay and clover, if left uncovered. This is loss ef one to six dollars. accord ing to the local price of hay. In new countries coarse slough hay furnishes good covering or matching to top out the stack with, but slough hay is passing away before the ditching spade and improved grass seed. It is often necessary to store the hay out doors until barns can be afford- ed, or when an unexpected surplus is harvested. Sometimes it is found expedient to stack in the field or in the edge of a woodland pasture. to be fed out without hauling to the barns. The writer has used sixteen feet boards to make covers for ricks and found them economical. For rick ten feet wide. ten or twelve one-foot boards are necessary. Three poles, or scantling. five or six feet long, are used on each side for rafters. The boards are mere ly tackled on lengthwise, beginning at the bottom, tapping an inch to shed the water. Rafters can be put in place be- fore the boards are nailed on, or the sides of the roof may be raised in place after mailing the boards fast. The two sides can be fastened together at tho ridge with pieces of fence wire. Top out the rick SO that the cover will have good slant on either side. Where the stacks are exposed to the wind it is we'll to fasten the covers to stakes in the ground with wire. If the nails are not driven quite down they can be easily drawn when feeding, and the boards used for other purposes or laid away until next hay ing time. The first cost of the lumber will be about three dollars for each six teen feet in length, and should last many years if it is at all properly cared tor.
 Near small horse barn It was de- sirable each year to build a round stack of two or three tons of hay in addition to that contained in the now. To protect this during the fall rains, a cap was made of boards in four parts. The angle of each triangular section at the top was some what less than right angle, so as to give the four sides the slope of four sided roof. The sections were light and were put in place by the man on the stack taking rope in either hand attached to the opposite sections and, by the aid of the pitcher, lifting them to the top, where they were fastened together by means of strong twine wrapped around nails. The lower op- posite corners were also attached in the same way. This cover made of scraps of boards did service several years. The top of the stack of horse hay was always in as nice condition as that in the ow.-PrGirie Farmer.

 Young pigs will usually commence to eat when about three weeks old, and the more attractive the portion put within their reach the quicker they will learn to make full feed.

 Boiled Custard. Put two table spoonfuls of water in the kettle first, to keep the custard from sticking. Then add one quart of milk, two table spoonfuls of sugar, two eggs (the eggs and sugar beaten together) and two slices of bread.

If you suffer from dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, dis charges falling from the head into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid; if the eyes are weak, watery, and inflamed; and there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat, approximation of offensive matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the voice being changed and having nasal twang; the breath offensive; smell and taste impaired; experience a sem sation of dizziness, with mental depression, shacking cough, and general debility, then you are suffering from chronic nasal catarrh. Only few of the above named symptoms are likely to be present in any one case at one time, or in one stage of the disease. Thousands of cases annually, without manifesting half of the above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the grave. No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous, less under stood or more unsucCessfully treated by physicians. The manufacturers of Dr..

GIRLS PENMANSHIP.
Why Yonng Ladies Should Pay Moro At
 tention to Their Handwriting.


 tentIon to Their Handwriting.
 Girls should look to their handwriting, for it may serve them at some future crisis better than shorthand or the type writer, says tue Youths Companion There is d lady clerk In the Department of the Interior, Mrs. Avery by name, who has a snug and easy place of q, 600 year, chief y on account of the extraordinary excel lence of hor penmanship. It is she who is selected to copy the letters of the depart ment which arc regarded as of the great est consequences, such, for example, as are to receive the attention Of the Presi- dent, who frequently compliments Mrs. Avery's admirable penmanship.
 No doubt her handwriting is neat and elegant, because, when she was learning the art, she took pains; and no doubt oth- CT girls could do as well, by taking the same course. Considering the advantage it is to many girls to write good hand, it is strange that more of them do not try to g, qulre this accomplishment. Of late years our schoolgirls and school boys do a great d al more writing than they did formerly. Much is done in school now by way of dictation, and in many schools tho pupils have pencil or pen in hand aI- most half the time.
 But it would not be true to say that the girls of to-day write moro legibly and neatly than their mothers did. It would be well if they paid far more atten- ton to this matter than they do. But they should mako a serious study of it-acquire the habit oi tal1ing the best posture; learn to use the muscles to advantage, so that they may not easily become tired; and then prac- tice, as one who intend to become a pro- fessional musician practices. When a piece of writing gets worse and worse, page after page, 1t is because the writer did he work with only one end of the muscular system of the arm, instead of employing the whole of it's exquisite and harmonious machinery. Mrs. Avery, it is said, writes as easily as she does Iegibly. She writes as we'll at the end of her days work as at the beginning, and her fingers never ache.

It is very exciting game, and the boys say it beats baseball all hol low.
